Compiled 23.03.1996 by Alastair Kimbell (al@ackone.demon.co.uk) Copyright Alastair Kimbell 1995,1996 All rights reserved System Checker For Windows Version 0.7 beta version =================================================== DESCRIPTION =========== This program should give you all the Windows information you need to troubleshoot problems you have. It will tell you about your disk, screen, memory, keyboard, network, COM ports, Windows setup, fonts and much more. REQUIREMENTS ============ System requirements are minimal, pretty much any IBM compatible PC running Windows 3.x or Win95 should run System Checker. This version was developed on Win3.11 over MS-DOS 6.22, and tested on the release version of Windows 95. If you have problems with System Checker on either of these please e'mail me including a list of the version number of System Checker (in case its fixed in more recent release), the operating system you are using, and the nature of the bug. This software is SHAREWARE and FREELY DISTRIBUTABLE. It is also in the early stages of development. If you find this software useful and use it regularly or if you feel like encouraging me to develop System Checker more, feel free to send a £10 donation by Cheque to : Alastair Kimbell Flat 36, Galliard Court, 48 Baronson Gardens, Abington, Northampton, NN1 4NU. (ENGLAND) Comments, bug reports, ideas and suggestions are all welcome and can be sent to al@ackone.demon.co.uk. PROGRAM INFORMATION =================== This program runs on either Windows 3.10/3.11 or Windows 95 ( and has been tested on both ) . Because of the differences between the two Operating Systems some of the features of System Checker may not perform as expected under Windows 95 (it has been developed primarily on Win 3.11. A 32 bit dedicated version for Win95 is anticipated in the near future to correct these problems. System Checker started as a project to help me learn how use Visual Basic 3.0 and has moved on from there to become a useful utility. Future releases will also cover the areas of communications, printing and more on memory and disk space as well as improved help and documentation. FONTS ===== If you have problems loading the fonts screen, go into your control panel for fonts and set the Truetype fonts only in applications checkbox to True.
